Hi everyone,
We just had a new sponsor come on line and right away he bought us 5 power supplies for the older athlon machines that we have. Its a local truck body builder that has helped us with individual projects many times, and now he wants to be part of the mainstream and help as much as possible. He will bo on our web page soon.
I have been real busy getting machines ready to donate and we have more out this year so far than any previous year.
Then I ended up in the emergency room with tachycardia. So I am to take beta blockers for three weeks and if it cannot be managed by drugs then surgery to kill the misfiring nerve causing the problem, and of course look for blockages and repair any that are there. Still building computers and getting one ready now for a single mom with kids in school who is putting her way through college. She forces me to keep a ledger so she can pay it all back one day and I also informed her that money wouldn't be accepted from her but any old parts she came accross or older machines I can strip for parts are always welcome. When you add up the cost of just motherboard screws, slot covers, audio wires you can have a lot invested really fast and still have a relatively small inventory. While I did buy a bit of stuff in the beginning I get most of that stuff off older proprietary machines now and have a good inventory of it.
We are getting a lot of new people in the #cancer-survivors group, but still the other rooms we are starting are a bit slow. We just got a new guestbook up so please feel free to drop in and see and sign our guestbook. Let the people know that are ill that others are thinking about them.
If you have old pc's and parts, right now I need just about everything I can get my hands on 1000Mhz and over CPU machines and newer. Windows 98 pentium2 machines aren't worth shipping but the memory if it is 256 of 612 sticks sure is and any hard drives 40 gig or over. Any non proprietary cases are also very good and of course memory ddr in 512 and up chips are always excellent as the big batch of that I had is gone now.
Be sure to visit out domain at www.centralsupportgroups.com and sign our guestbook. We are still looking for cash sponsors but only businesses please. Private party's just used parts is a huge help.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day
